Because of the large volume of debris I have from trees on my place this has become one of my methods of disposal, forming new gardens over piles of tree branches, palm fronds, leaves, grass, etc. All the materials have different rates of decomposition. The Mango and African Mahogany rot fairly quickly whereas some of the others are slow. Most palm fronds go fairly quickly as well. But as long as it's in the soil it's all good. I also add charcoal and animal bones to the mix. It makes for a good 'brew'.
